A Plea To My Blog Readers...

... even if you don't know me and have only stumbled on to this page by accident...

Between the 4th and 12th of August I was the happiest I have ever been in my life, because my friend Viki from Hungary came over for a visit. Now, we've been in touch with each other by email and MSN for 2 years, after meeting on
Cyberfriends... and, after meeting her, I no longer consider her a friend - She's my sister... much more so than my real sisters, who probably don't care if I'm alive or dead.

And, since she left on Wednesday morning, I've gone back to being more miserable than I've ever felt before... The house is so empty, that I've taken to turning on the computer and iTunes as soon as I come home, and I leave the radio on all night, just so there's another voice here with me. Up until Dad went into hospital, I'd never lived alone before - There was always someone there to speak to. Now, there's no point opening my mouth and talking aloud, because I'm the only person here to hear it.

And Viki's not happy in Hungary either... She's an English teacher, and loves the English language, and is desperate to come here to live.

So, here is the plea...

Please pray to whatever Higher Power you worship that things will fall into place to allow her to come here as soon as is humanly possible, so she can start looking for work. She does have plans, but they're dependent on banks and her current employer and things like that, so there's a lot of potential for "No".

I just want to have her here. Someone to laugh with, someone to sit and watch a DVD with (it's no fun watching TV alone, because there's no one there to laugh at funny bits with, or to discuss plot twists with), someone to make it worth coming home...

If it turns out she can't come, then I'm going to be gutted. I don't want to go back to being alone again...

So please pray...

I'll pray for Vicki to be able to come live with you, Ally!

Thanks, Nev.

I think it's just a matter of "when", as she's really determined.

But it all depends on money (doesn't everything?) and how quickly she can get her hands on some.
